The Titan was the second race
in a row where Kiser narrowly missed out on the
win.
"We're determined to get a win before
the year is over," said Kiser. "Chris
and I battled back and forth and we had a good
race. Second is not too bad but it's not what
we were hoping for. We'll just have to come
back at the next race."

Yamaha / Ballance Racing's Taylor Kiser
once again battled back & forth with
Chris Borich, but he missed claiming the
win by just 2 seconds |
Can-Am
/ Warnert Racing's Chris Bithell claimed
the final spot on the Podium for his 2nd
Podium finish of the season on the DS450
ATV |
After getting off to a mid-pack start, Chris
Bithell rounded out the podium with a third.
The Warnert Racing Can-Am rider worked his way
to the front, running as high as second when
Borich bobbled on the final lap.
"I stayed right there in third for most
of the day," said Bithell. "I was
right behind Kiser and Borich and then Borich
bobbled on the last lap when he hit a loose
rock on a big hill and I was able to pass him.
I stalled the bike a little bit later and he
got back around me, but it was a good race for
me overall."

| FRE
/ KTM's Bryan Cook was awarded the Holeshot
after Borich was penalized & he tied
a season best finish with a 4th Overall |
Since Borich was penalized for jumping early at
the start, Bryan Cook was awarded the $250 Motorcycle-USA.com
holeshot award and the FRE/KTM rider went on to
finish fourth for one of his best finishes of
the year.
"We've had some struggles off and on this
year, so this was a good race for us and we're
showing what we should have been doing all year,"
said Cook. "We were running good and on
the last lap I had a couple of places I thought
I could make some passes and I just got too
comfortable in a corner and let the front end
push out. I hit a little tree and after that
I had to push it pretty hard to try to catch
back up to those guys. Now we just need to come
back and try to get a win."
Warnert Racing Can-Am's Adam McGill rounded
out the top five ahead of Yamaha-mounted Donnie
Ockerman. Meanwhile, Yamaha riders Jeffrey Pickens
and Brandon Sommers were seventh and eighth
ahead of Honda riders Ryan Lane and Harold Goodman.
With two races remaining, Borich leads the
title chase with 316 points. Meanwhile, Kiser
is second with 266 and McGill is third with
215.
